Day-18

2 Samuel 22:1-4, 31-37, 50-51

Then David spoke to the Lord the words of this song, on the day when the Lord had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. 2 And he said: “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; 3 The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence. 4 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.

31 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. 32 “For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? 33 God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect. 34 He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places. 35 He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 36 “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great. 37 You enlarged my path under me; So my feet did not slip.

50 Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name. 51 “He is the tower of salvation to His king, And shows mercy to His anointed, To David and his descendants forevermore.”

撒下22:1-4, 31-37, 50-51

當耶和華救大衛脫離一切仇敵和掃羅之手的日子，他向耶和華念這詩，2 說：耶和華是我的巖石，我的山寨，我的救主，3 我的 神，我的磐石，我所投靠的。他是我的盾牌，是拯救我的角，是我的高臺，是我的避難所。我的救主啊，你是救我脫離強暴的。4 我要求告當讚美的耶和華，這樣，我必從仇敵手中被救出來。

31 至於 神，他的道是完全的；耶和華的話，是煉淨的。凡投靠他的，他便作他們的盾牌。32 除了耶和華，誰是 神呢？除了我們的 神，誰是磐石呢？33 神是我堅固的保障，他引導完全人行他的路。34 他使我的腳快如母鹿的蹄，又使我在高處安穩。35 他教導我的手能以爭戰，甚至我的膀臂能開銅弓。36 你把你的救恩給我作盾牌，你的溫和使我為大。37 你使我腳下的地步寬闊；我的腳未曾滑跌。

50 耶和華啊，因此我要在外邦中稱謝你，歌頌你的名。51 耶和華賜極大的救恩給他所立的王，施慈愛給他的受膏者，就是給大衛和他的後裔，直到永遠！
